Max needs to dump all the legacy crap and stop saying things like well we have to ensure backwards compatibility – to me that is a poor excuse. Max needs to develop a tool set for sound designers so that it can be used after people have learned to program in Max. Obviously you cannot build a Lego Atat with PD vanilla but really if that’s all you can build are you any use at all to anybody. PD Vanilla is like normal Lego blocks where you can build whatever you want and let your imagination run wild. Max is like Lego Star Wars – full of one off custom bits, really expensive, and once you build it you don’t really play with it ever again and you’re weary of taking it apart.

The included library with PD while less structured that Max often has far more interesting tools. You learn a huge amount more as you build it from the ground up and realize that it’s all actually quite simple and obvious. If you really want to learn programming by starting with a visual programming language then get PD vanilla which has a beautifully limited number of objects, is portable, is free, and ask the extremely knowledgeable and helpful forum members how to use the objects to tailor them to your needs. I’m completely jaded with the layers of legacy laden nonsense that is included in max. Nobody including the developers ever use the products made with Max outside of a quick demo and trying to score internet points. To develop anything of value takes so long to learn it is impossible to argue the time would not have been better spent learning a more useful language like Java. Educators hood wink students into thinking max has any use at all outside of class. The included library is terrible and the excuse that you should build it yourself is insulting.Īny of the useful libraries like Beap and the convolution library are not made by cycling 74 and often coded in Java and not Max.
